Wearing a watch increses its value. No? The Stranger from UN

I will ALWAYS wish that DEEP in the hearts of people, they are buying and spending hard earned money, they get to enjoy the fruits of their labours.

Else, buy shares on some market.

But..we live in a time when the man/machine interface is closing each hour across labs all over the world.

Something from the past, a music box...and a tune that I love , in fact.....I love BOTH available tunes.

A music box watch has been done before.

BUT...as I own several...I can say that THIS Ulysse Nardin is one of the company's MOST beautiful pieces EVER.

And trust me...it is because it plays a tune, using a musical disc, and that the lines and waves that stretch across the body...you will wish that I am right.

That owning this, and wearing it, using it....will make this piece uniquely of great value...the more you wear it.

As an audiophile nut, music boxes will mellow as you use the tines often...and each person will trigger the watch in a unique way.

I ramble.

I am mad.

BUT...in 2002..I did tell you to buy the Freak, in 2003, the Opus 3, in 2005, the Opus V.

I don't bat even 10 out of 100.

BUT..I will say this.

TEN fingers..not 8 with 2 thumbs!

Ten fingers reaching into the HEART.

REACHING into the heart to play a tune from the heart. I may sound soppy...but watchmaking is NOT always about movements and finish..although this one is not at all a walk in the park...and it is an obvious example of GREAT WORK.

I will own this watch, buy it with my own money. Give it to my wife.

Err..sorry...I will wear it myself.

I am sure UN will launch different tunes later..and trusting the people...they will be relevant to many who lived thru the 70s as adults.

Look:

Wait a minute... This watch / music box will be part of the 2013 collection?

By: amanico : March 14th, 2013-14:19

WOW! WOWOWOW!!! It is the first time for several years that I am completely devastated of joy, happiness, and excitement for a UN novelty. Just one reserve, though... Whitout such a simple date, which looks cheap in such a marvellous environment, it would...

Agree. This could actually just have been a time-only...

... piece without even the seconds subdial. This piece would not be about the passing of time but of enjoying it :) I also wonder if it would be nicer if the music movement (disc etc) was hidden. And if you want something fancy, that you could put automat...

What tune is it playing, as well as the watch's specs.

The tune played is Strangers in the Night by Frank Sinatra

By: Nicko16 : March 14th, 2013-16:55

One of my favourite crooners

It plays "Strangers in the Night" from Frank Sinatra [nt]

beautiful

By: cuibono : March 14th, 2013-15:16

another beautiful watch that you've brought to my attention. i have to say that while wearing a watch increases its value to the individual who wears it, the value to everyone else, i.e., the market goes down precisely because the more it is on your wrist...

I have been waiting...

By: Dave G : March 14th, 2013-16:54

I have been waiting for UN creativity to return. For a few years I was tired of the next release being just another variant of the same pieces in the Marine line. Don't get me wrong, I like the base pieces, but acquiring the original Freak in 2001, then t...

I like it!

By: Nicko16 : March 14th, 2013-16:56

Especially since I am a Sinatra fan. If they made it with the tune to Come Fly With Me or My Way would be the icing on the cake!

Un is so original, it's really astounding sometimes.

By: Mostel : March 14th, 2013-18:06

Unfortunately, another 'too weird' for me watch. But I really am struck with stupefied admiration.

Hang on! What is this?...

By: moc : March 15th, 2013-05:15

What happened , ? Who am I? I need to know more , and fast! I feel another incredible creation will poison my mind.... Agree with Nico on the date though.... I have a song in mind already if they take customisation...,

We are two, here... I must see it in the flesh. [nt]

Some informations from the press file:

By: amanico : March 15th, 2013-06:01

" The melody “Strangers in the Night” can be heard hourly or on call by actuating a pusher. Several different functions can be set by means of the integral pusher crown including winding, advancing or retarding the date and correcting the time. To do so, ...

Very intriguing novelty

By: MichaelC : March 15th, 2013-07:49

And damn good looking, too! I agree, it is nice to see UN give us this sort of original excitement. We have been waiting several years now, IMO. Perhaps we were spoiled when these sorts of amazing creations were coming out a bit more frequently.

2000 - 2005 were really impressive years, indeed.

By: amanico : March 15th, 2013-08:45

This year makes me think about this " golden era ". I am very happy, indeed, very happy. Best, my friend. Nicolas
